Brazil has been cited as an attractive country to FDI among countries such as China, India, Russia and South Africa. That’s been happening due to a persistent development of economic stability policies, increased privatization process and creation of incentives in order to attract foreign investors. Nonetheless, it is still extremely bureaucratic to start a company in Brazil; consequently, the longer it takes to make things legal, the more expensive will be the final process.

The final cost to start up a company in Brazil is three times higher than in other BRICS countries. Besides that, other factors such as corruption, costly taxes and labor scenario and high interest rates make Brazil a difficult place of doing business.
